On Dec. 31, 1935, criminal abortion charges were dropped against Dr. Tobias Ginsberg, and his nurse, because of insufficient evidence. The two were suspects in the Nov. 19, 1935 abortion death of 24-year-old Mrs. Edith Eschrich.

Ginsburg was born Oct. 9, 1902, in New York, the son of Russian immigrants, and died in January of 1981. He was a 1920 graduate of Stuyvesant High School and attended Fordham University.
